Running is a medium to high intensity activity that requires many systems in the body to work overtime to support additional energy consumption. Although this level of exercise is better for you than without exercise, it can sometimes cause discomfort. Slight pain in the head and nose after running is usually not a serious condition, but as with any pain in the body, it is best to seek advice from a medical professional.

During moderate exercise (such as running), more requirements are imposed on the body system. The respiratory system works harder to deliver more oxygen to the blood, and the heart pumps faster, providing fresh oxygen to the muscles. Even the digestive system participates in decelerating to save the energy needed by the muscles. Therefore, pain, pain and discomfort are not uncommon in many areas of the body during frequent or infrequent exercise. However, any recurrent pain should be checked by your health care professional as it may be a sign of a potential illness.
Sinus pressure
Every time the head and nose are sore, the sinuses may be the culprit. The sinuses are spaces filled with air in the head that connect to the nasal passages and serve a variety of purposes, including heating the inhaled air, protecting the eyes and nerves, improving sound resonance, and protecting the face from trauma. The sinus c is infected, causing pain and pressure buildup in the pus and head and nose. Symptoms of sinus infection may be mild or severe. Some people suffer from chronic sinus infections, which can be exacerbated by running. If you think that sinus pressure may be the cause of your post-run pain, talk to your doctor about the diagnosis and treatment plan.
Cold weather
Running in cold weather can make you feel uncomfortable. Breathing in cold air can cause pain in some people's sensitive nasal passages. The cold air is also drier, causing the sinus to dry, causing sinus pain and stress, headache and nasal pain. If your head and nose are only injured when running in cold weather, take precautions to protect yourself from these factors - wear a hat to absorb body temperature, if the tempe game is cold, consider it in your mouth and nose Wear a layer of protectionLayer to avoid breathing in cold air. At home, keep the humidifier running to increase the moisture in the air, which will help keep your sinus healthy even if you are not on the road.
Other causes
Other causes Pain in the head and nose during running may include chronic migraine, dehydration, fatigue, high blood pressure or other underlying diseases. Most of the mild headaches after running are not serious and are the result of vasodilatation in the skull. However, more severe headaches and pain, or nausea, vomiting or blurred vision, should be checked by a doctor because they may be a sign of a serious illness.
